Looks nice! Where abouts in watford did you get it flocked? Mine has been flocked in the same colour as the roof lining and I hate it! So if it's not a silly price I might go for it!
i got it done here, cost me £60 for all of it http://www.flocking.co.uk/Services/Dashboard-Flocking.aspx where abouts are you?
Near luton so about 4 junctions up the m1! Might go for that! Did you take the dash apart and leave it with them?

Love the glove box trim mate, love the colour too. They easy to get hold of? Also the handle trims easy to remove, I'm proper heavy handed.
